This was a great location for us. It is out of the city centre but still in a really busy location where you do also get a sense of Bangkok with street vendors, traffic and general mayhem. Great pool which we enjoyed but added bonus of sunset and sunrise decks on top floor. Well worth watching both by the way.
The appartment is really conveniently located for Skytrain which makes getting around the city easy and relatively cheap.
There is a great street food market down below it so we had plenty of choice of food without wandering far in the evenings.
